常见问题

Will this stop all spam?

Not all, but it drastically reduces it.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes – no cookies, no tracking, only anonymized data.

Do I need coding skills?

No. Everything is managed via WordPress Dashboard.

What data does telemetry collect and why?

SilentShield includes optional anonymous telemetry (opt-out).
This helps us understand which features are used, so we can improve usability and remove unused complexity.

We are a small independent team – we don’t earn money with this plugin, and we don’t sell or share data.
Telemetry is used only for optimization and maintenance purposes.

The support team is next level! Jumped in immediately and resolved the issue quickly. The plugin works great for my client’s gravity form. Highly recommend and will use again in the future.

As webmaster, I always use this great plugin in all my websites to protect any contact form (using CF7) and also the Wordpress administration login page. Now, my websites are safer, and my customers are not bothered any more. Finally, the support is excellent.

This plugin is the best solution I’ve tested so far in over 15 years of creating websites for my clients. It works smoothly, is GDPR / DSGVO compliant, lightweight and protects contact forms very reliably. I experienced some minor issues at times and reached out for support to FORGE12 – the team is amazing! They reply very fast (same day) and with brilliant solutions – well-earned five stars and highly recommended!

A five star rating for this plugin, and for the support. The captcha works perfectly for keeping the bots away – but at the same time, it does not discourage your visitors and users to register or log in at your site. In two years of use, I’ve had two minor issues, and when I reach out for tech support, I get an answer within 12 hours. This is pretty amazing, If you use this plugin it will work very well, and you’ll also need the support you need. 5 Stars.

更新日志

2.2.53

  • Improvement [Whitelist]: Added global AJAX/REST whitelist for WooCommerce and major payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe, Klarna, Mollie, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link) to prevent false CAPTCHA validation during checkout.
  • Improvement [Captcha Math Generator]: Improved numeric CAPTCHA validation logic to correctly handle 0 results (e.g., 5 − 5 = 0) and prevent false negatives from empty or non-numeric inputs.

2.2.52

  • New [WooCommerce Checkout]: Now protected with Captcha. Enable or disable under Settings Extended. More security. Less spam.
  • Improvement [API v2]: Refactored server-side validation for greater consistency and reduced error rate.

2.2.51

  • Improvement [API v2/JavaScript]: Refactored client-side validation for consistency and reduced error rate

2.2.50

  • Fix [API v2]: Updated key and endpoint configuration.
  • Fix [JavaScript]: Adjusted script to align with latest Chrome behavior, resolving issues with event forwarding from WooCommerce/WordPress.

2.2.49

  • New [API v2]: Started implementing the new Captcha SaaS solution.
  • Fix [JavaScript]: Fixed a bug that prevented WooCommerce from triggering its own events on form submit.
  • Fix [Logger]: No longer tied to WP_DEBUG. Enable with F12_DEBUG.
  • Fix [Core]: Updated paths for blacklist and set timeout value to 3s.

2.2.46

  • Fix [Core]: Removed dynamic property creation in CaptchaTimer; explicit initialization.
  • Fix [JS]: Validation now works when the submit button has an inline onclick; our callback is no longer blocked.
  • Fix [Gravity Forms]: CAPTCHA now renders at the configured position; misplacement previously caused constant protection triggering.
  • Fix [Logs]: Removed properties are no longer tracked; prevents excessive log size growth.

2.2.44

  • Fixed: Updated the comparison of $setting_value by adding an explicit (int) cast to ensure numeric strings like '1' are correctly converted to integers. This fixes issues where the strict comparison === 1 would previously return false.

2.2.43

  • Fixed: Adjusted hooks to clear database entries by user.
  • Fixed: Fatal error caused by IPLogs using array_keys

2.2.4

  • New: JetForm support
  • New: IP Blacklist Validator
  • New: Anonymous telemetry (opt-out)
  • Improved: Simplified configuration defaults
  • Improved: Reload & error handling for form plugins
  • Fixed: Admin whitelist for Ajax forms
